WARNINGS
PLEASE REVIEW BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION
Look through the entire manual to understand the installation process.
Watch the tutorial videos that are found on the tablet.
During the installation use the ‘BYPASS’ mode to move the LINK.
Do not use the pendant or ‘PENDANT’ mode until you have reset the home position.
The LINK is designed to ALWAYS use the original seat. The biggest challenge this will present for the installer will be
extending the vehicle’s original seat wire harness, as this MUST be done. The general process does not vary, but the
exact steps will vary due to the trim level, the model and seat options from the vehicle manufacturer. Keeping this in
mind, we have made an effort to clearly describe the process required in this manual. However, it is possible that the
pictures in this manual do not match exactly the specific vehicle you are working on.
SEAT WIRING EXTENSION PROCESS
The wiring must be extended 80 inches. This extension is placed near the seat connectors that are under the seat.
The extension (80 inches) then passes under the LINK and loops around the back of the OEM seat –allowing the
seat and the LINK to travel in and out of the vehicle. Depending on the make, model and seat options, there are
components that must be disconnected, bypassed and/or relocated. On vehicle models with a seat position memory
function, the forward/backward, tilt and height adjustments as well as seat memory are replaced by the LINK.
However, the seat recline function is retained. (EXAMPLE: In the Ford F150, 2009-2014 model; the seat height, tilt,
forward and backward adjustment motors are disconnected and removed with the seat frame, but the recline motor
is retained. The control and memory box are relocated to the floor under the seat, next to the seat connectors. The
seat position sensor is also relocated to the floor under the seat. The wiring harness is then extended from this point
under the seat.)
PLEASE NOTE: If the ignition is turned on while extending a wire harness that includes airbags, this may cause the
airbag light to stay on following the installation.
ADAPT SOLUTIONS CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FAULTY WIRE EXTENSIONS.
Please use caution during the installation.
ANDROID TABLET –LINK I.T. SOFTWARE
If this is your first installation of a LINK, you will have also purchased an Android tablet that is required for the
installation and maintenance of the LINK product. This tablet will have the LINK IT software already installed. We
have prepared quick, easy and to the point tutorial videos imbedded into the software. Take a moment and watch
the video that shows all the features of the tablet. To do this, open the LINK IT app and tap on ‘INFO’. Make sure
your volume is turned up and tap on App-101. The video will start automatically.
REDUCED POWER MODE
A safeguard is integrated in the LINK system. Following any changes to the preset or sequence of the LINK, the
unit will enter a reduced power mode. This is to allow you to visually inspect the movements of the LINK to ensure
it is not damaging the vehicle or itself during its first cycle. On the tablet, a yellow bar will appear at the top of the
screen to indicate you are in reduced power mode. To exit, simply run the LINK a full cycle. NOTE:It is possible that
the LINK will stop during this cycle as power is reduced. Visually confirm nothing is impeding the movements and
then simply press the IN or OUT button again to continue the cycle. During the installation, if the 12V power is
removed and replaced at the same time as the 9V battery (LINK memory back up) is unplugged or fully drained, the
LINK will enter reduced power mode. Simply run a full cycle to exit. PLEASE NOTE: You will find an explanation of
this mode on a YELLOW tag attached to the hand pendant. Please explain the functions of the reduced power mode
to the LINK user (your client).
For technical support call 866.641.0419 or email [email protected]
Please have the serial number of the unit on hand before placing your call.

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 3
BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION:
Make sure the steering wheel adjustment is fully UP and IN to allow maximum clearance for the driver
seat. When installing the LINK with hand controls, hand controls should be installed after the LINK.
1. Unbolt and remove the OEM seat. Unplug the connectors under the seat.
2. Install the seat on a workbench and remove the plastic seat shrouds and electric controls.

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 4
3. Remove the seat frame. To do so you will have to unplug components of the seat electrical harness
and then remove the seat wiring harness.
4. Remove the air bag seat position sensor and reconnect to the wiring.

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 5
5. The wiring harness extension can now be made using the provided multibrand cable. Extend the OEM wire
harness with the provided connectors and 18 gauge multi strand extension. Start the extension six (6) inches
from the floor connector. For best results, extend one wire at a time. Test continuity of each wire through
the extension to avoid errors. (If you wish to keep a record of your wire extensions for reference, you will find
a lined sheet at the very end of this manual for that purpose.)NOTE: The control box module and seat position
sensor are relocated onto the floor. The wiring extension will be routed out of the bottom left hand corner of
the seat.

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 6

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 7
6. Reinstall the wiring into the seat, run the extension out of the bottom left hand corner of the seat.
Attach the wires securely with zip ties.
7. The seat height adjustment motor will have to be removed. Install the supplied bracket, part #LK-
F150C09L-04 in its place.

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 8
8. Run the power from the battery to the LINK. To do this, thread the red power cable (+) under the doorstep
moulding and through the firewall. Make sure you pass through a grommet in the firewall to prevent the cable
from chaffing. Install the circuit breaker near the battery and then connect the battery to the circuit breaker.
Attach the black ground wire (-) to the vehicle’s frame, under the doorstep moulding using a self-tapping
screw. Locate a spot where the sheet metal is doubled-up to ensure a proper ground.
9. Position the extended floor connectors and control box on the floor before installing the floor
adapter to avoid having to unbolt the adapter to pass the connectors and control box (if present) at a
later stage. Use the OEM bolts. Place the shim, part #LK-F150C09-06 under the rear exterior
mounting bolt of the floor adapter part #LK-F150C09L-01.
10. Remove the LINK from the shipping box and set it on a table or workbench. Connect auxiliary 12V
power to the LINK. The LINK will ‘beep’ during the installation. (See LINK Audible Warnings chart
for further references.)

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 9
11. Next, connect the LINK to the Android tablet via Bluetooth. Connect the Bluetooth module (small,
blue and white, 4 pronged connector) to the LINK pendant plug. Make sure the tablet and LINK
are connected. (Detailed explanations are found in the video tutorial, under INFO.) Using the LINK IT
application, open ‘BYPASS’. Press the ‘PIVOT OUTWARD’ button to move the LINK out just enough
to see the eight (8) bolt holes.
12. Place the LINK in the vehicle on the floor adapter. Use the four longer (3/8’’-16 x 1¼’’) socket cap
bolts to secure the LINK by the pivot, and use the four shorter (3/8’’-16 x 7/8’’) to secure the
interior of the LINK. Be careful not to pinch the LINK wire harness between the LINK and the floor
adapter. IMPORTANT: Run the LINK harness around and under the pivot. Do not run over the top of
the pivot as it can interfere with the function of the slide.

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 10
13. Connect the previously installed 12V power supply to the LINK. Using the LINK IT application, use
‘BYPASS’ mode to ‘TILT’ the seat adapter up to facilitate the installation of the seat onto the LINK.
14. Reconnect the extended harness. Install the provided plastic cover.

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 11
15. Attach the pendant wire on the side under the right hand shroud and position it to come out
between the seat back and seat cushion. Leave enough loose cable to be able to plug and unplug the
pendant and the Bluetooth module. The connector can be attached with Velcro under the shroud.
Verify the positioning of the wire to make sure there is no chance of it pinching or binding once the
seat moves.
16. The left hand seat trim will have to be modified to allow clearance for the LINK. Modify the seat
shroud to fit around the pivot block, as shown. Reinstall the plastic seat trim and electric seat
controls.

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 12
17. Attach the extended harness to the back of the LINK. Using a zip-tie, attach the harness to the pivot
cover. Ensure that there in enough slack for the wiring to follow the LINK out but not get caught in
the LINK.
18. Using the tablet, open the ‘RESET’ tab. As this step is crucial, please watch the less than 60 second tutorial
video for a reminder of how to properly perform a reset. It is vital that the LINK be exactly at the ‘HOME’
position before moving on to the next step. If the LINK is slightly off its ‘HOME’ position or the starting point
of its movements, there is a strong chance that the LINK will not fit through the doorway properly and/or will
cause problems with the preset of the LINK. Use ‘TILT’, ‘TRAVEL’ and ‘PIVOT’ to bring all three motors to their
‘HOME’ position. Use gentle movements to make sure to not go past the visual markers (yellow indicators) of
the LINK’s ‘TRAVEL’ and ‘TILT’. Then make sure that the ‘PIVOT’ is completely in.

LINK 2009-2014 FORD F150 CREW CAB/ SUPERCAB/ FRONT LEFT p. 13
19. Now that the LINK is in its ‘HOME’ position, RESET the unit by pressing ‘CONFIRM RESET’. A screen will pop
up to ask: ‘ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO RESET?’. Press ‘ACCEPT’. The LINK will emit two (2) audible beeps to
confirm ‘RESET’, and will now be in reduced power mode. In pendant mode, run one full cycle to exit reduced
power mode.
20. The installation is now finished. Plug in the 9V battery. Check the voltage on the 9V battery. To do this, on the
tablet, under INFO | LINK MANAGEMENT | DIAGNOSTIC. The real voltage will be listed. Unplug the Bluetooth
module and plug in the hand pendant. Make sure the LINK hand pendant is working properly. Cycle the LINK
in and out a few times, both with and without a passenger to make sure all shrouds are properly installed and
that nothing is rubbing or requires adjustment. Make a visual inspection while the LINK is in movement that
all the wiring follows the seat and does not risk being severed at any time.
